Did Jesus Really Exist? A Historical Investigation

/ thehistoryhubs

In this enlightening video, we delve deep into the question of Jesus of Nazareth's historical existence, a topic that lies at the intersection of history, religion, and culture. Unlike mythical figures of legend, Jesus is a central figure in Christianity and influential in other religions. We explore the extensive historical, archaeological, and scriptural evidence, dissecting the portrayal of Jesus in the Christian New Testament and examining the unique insights provided by the four Gospels.
We also venture beyond Christian narratives to examine the Islamic view of Jesus ('Isa) in the Quran, which offers a unique perspective written approximately 600 years after Jesus's time. The video explores the significant points of divergence and convergence between Islamic and Christian views, including the miraculous birth and the crucifixion narrative.
Moreover, we turn to non-Christian and non-religious sources for an external perspective on Jesus's historical existence. Esteemed historians like Publius Cornelius Tacitus, Flavius Josephus, and Pliny the Younger provide invaluable insights that contribute significantly to the discussion.
We also discuss the role of archaeological discoveries, such as the Pilate Stone, and scholarly analysis in understanding the historical context of the New Testament and the life of Jesus. The video examines the Criterion of Embarrassment and the rapid spread of Christianity as pointers to the historicity of its central figure.
However, we also present the ongoing academic discussion and skepticism about the historical nature of Jesus, exploring arguments from critics and scholars about the lack of direct contemporary records, the similarities with mythological figures, and the inconsistencies in the New Testament narratives.

    The Jewish philosopher and historian Philo Judaeus was recording the events of Jewish life in the areas of Egypt, Judea and Greece between 20 CE and 45 CE. He was in and around the Second Temple in Jerusalem. He knew Josephus and they wrote about each other and corresponded. He never mentions Jesus, his movement or Paul. The New Testament stories seem to include dramatic events, people coming out of tombs, the temple curtain ripping, earthquakes, miracles etc. However, it didn’t make the news. Why would rational people believe such incredible stories with zero evidence? It’s seems insulting to God to claim he wants us to believe things like this.

    Everything he said can be found in previous religions and philosophies. His message of peace and brotherhood is a product of the modern Enlightenment. Christianity historically has been more concerned with the responsibility of the individual to prepare for the afterlife than for taking care of his fellows. Responsibility for one's fellows is an ethos built into all tribal societies. His message of peace has never prevented Christian nations from going to war with each other. The history of Europe, as with other regions of the world, is a history of armed conflict. His messages of love, such as "love conquereth all", have been used to send abused women back to their husbands to die in domestic violence. Christianity provides the same value to political establishments as is provided by other universalist religions: it provides the ideological glue that can foster a false sense of community where none actually exists, masking divisions of ethnicity, class, gender, etc. , which then fester beneath the surface.

    Josephus, himself, was a Galilean, most of what he recorded in "War of the Jews" happened in Galilee, as it was a hotbed for insurrectionist activity during the 1st Century CE. He never made any note about the Jesus movement in "War of the Jews." The mentions about Christians were in his later work, "Antiquities," and scholars, both Christian and non-Christian seem to agree they were redactions added in by later Christian writers. To get to absolute "smoking gun" evidence of Jesus's historicity , there would need to be at minimum, one non-christian, eye-witness account of Jesus, preferably two. As far as anyone knows, and scholars have poured countless hours into this research, no such record(s) exist. That doesn't mean he didn't exist, but there is still no evidence outside canonical and non-canonical texts, written by Christians. And this brings up another point. If Christians really wanted to strengthen their argument about his historical existence, they would have to admit more non-canonical writings into the record. This would include some of those from the so-called Gnostic gospels. However, that would be problematic because it would mean conceding to stories and teachings that have been considered heretical for 2,000 years. It would mean the undoing of orthodox narratives. This, the orthodox-minded Christians and all of their offshoot brethren will not do.

    To your point about non-canonical writings, orthodoxy, and the historical Jesus, here is my counter-argument: There is another way to view this. Chiefly, non-canonical writings don't necessarily need to be accepted as theologically orthodox to contain a grain of historical truth. I.e., the Christian can reject them as Scripture while conceding that their existence does strengthen the existence of the historical Jesus by establishing a relative chronology. For instance, a gnostic scribe penning the theologically twisted tale of a true-to-life figure not far removed from his own lifetime. That's how I look at it, at least.

    For me the real question is “who was he” as the evidence for his historical existence is there. It’s clear he existed but who was he? Was he just a normal Jewish man if that time? Was he a Rabbi? Was he a Prophet? Or was he truly the Son of God? It is for each individual to answer that question one which as a skeptic, I spent 7 years on researching Non Christian writings, Archeology, Christian writing tings and all the other key people surrounding Jesus. Their humanity, behaviour and actions. There is no doubt at all in my mind who he was/is. This video presents a high level synopsis of what’s out there to be read and reviewed, if you have the time, do it.

The Dead Sea scrolls were found after 2,000 years hidden in clay jars in a cave, and in it were found gospels not found in the Bible. There may actually be actual writings of his still buried or hidden away and no one has found it yet. Or the Vatican may have something in its hermetic vaults.

For instance, I don't believe in God and am inclined to treat people with empathy and dignity, while Reverend Jim Jones believed in God and brought death to many. Bibles are not a guide to morality. Well-intentioned people who also believe in a God fail to reason that if their God created everything, then evil (nefarious behavior) is part of that everything. Isaiah 45:7 states that explicitly. They also don't recognize that the stories of Adam's and Eve's eviction, Noah's flood, the crucifixion /resurrection, and Revelation's new heaven and earth reveal a God who after supposedly creating humanity with both good and evil intentions was displeased with the evil half of that equation and attempted repeatedly to destroy it, but has yet to succeed. Well-intentioned Christian's might want to weigh their beliefs of a world with only good people against their God's failures to accomplish that goal.

He might have looked a little bit European, cause God is white, old, and has a long beard. Or so the paintings of him suggest. But if someone other than God and Joseph is the father, I'm leaning toward him looking like a younger Arafat.

Whether you choose to ignore the evidence offered or not, that is entirely up to the person. If you treat the examination of the various evidences as you would a criminal trial then perhaps the Scriptures become more reliable. But after studying the texts through the lens I offered examine the rest of the texts and see if they describe the human condition, and ask if they are accurate how does this apply to us. Are we sinners in need of a Savior? Is Jesus that being? Is the message of Scripture good news, is it consistent? And after all this research, should you still doubt the person of Jesus and his message, then add lots of prayer. God bless.

It is about 160-odd years since the American Civil War but no one says that the passage of time means Abe Lincoln didn’t exist or that the war didn’t happen. It is remarkable that over 5000 manuscripts, and parts of documents still exist. Equally interesting is that the Bible itself is an examination of God over thousands of years by over 40 different writers, many who didn’t know each other. The consistency of their witness defies the argument that ‘age’ has diluted the message. Blessings to you and yours.

    The three Gospels are three variants of a single template. It emerges all throughout history. Jesus is a Buddha or a Lao Tzu, Arjuna, Jason, Heracles, et al. here is a recent example. See the conceptual template? That is what one needs to go after. It frames every myth and religion. There is Just one Truth. And many ways outward looking that lead to disaster. Christianity is the biggest broadest outward looking path. Jesus was 'called' as being the only son of God, had 'supernatural powers,' traveled with 'handpicked disciples,' and instructs to seek the 'Kingdom of Heaven Within.' Arthur was 'called' as the only one who could get Excalibur, had Merlin for 'supernatural powers,' traveled with ‘handpicked, Knights,' and seeks 'The Holy Grail.' There are hundreds of these to those who look. Jesus is a carrier of the teaching. It is the teaching that has value. Not the source.

The New Covenant would have also provided atonement for the nation's sins (Ezekiel 16:59-63) after the Old Covenant was broken (Hosea 8:1, Jeremiah 11:10, Deuteronomy 31:16, 1 Kings 19:10).

    The author of Luke _claims_ to base his writings on eyewitnesses. But he never names them, so who are they? So, if true, the book of Luke is 2nd or maybe 3rd hand information. Basically hearsay. But no worries, the author of Luke is a liar. 60% of his book is copied verbatim from the book of Mark. It isn't any sort of independent account.

    “He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.” Copernicus was a fool for 5 minutes when he contradicted that the planets do not orbit the Earth, that they actually revolve around the sun. After all it was also “settled long before” that everything revolved around the earth. Well, turns out Copernicus he was right all along. Who was the real fool then?
